TITAN HARDWARE began operating on October 10, 1995 in a 1,000
square foot unit in Bell Gardens California. Then 28-year-old
Robert Lopez owned and operated the business as a one man
show. Getting to work at 7:00 am to make early morning pick-ups
and deliveries before opening for business at 9:00 AM. At
4:00 PM the answering machine was turned on so that the orders
could be prepared for shipping via UPS and other carriers.
Office management duties such has AP and AR were handled during
the day as time permitted or if need be, in the late evenings.
Within 18 months TITAN HARDWARE had 3 new employees and moved
moved to a 3700 square foot building in Santa Fe Springs CA.
Within another 2 years TITAN HARDWARE had out-grown the building
in Santa Fe Springs and moved to a modern building in Downey
CA with a capacity of 600 pallet spaces. In 2007 we purchased a state-of-the-art building in Santa
Fe Springs CA with a 1,300 pallet space capacity. The woodworking business then slowed down and the economy shrank. Titan Hardware took the opportunity, sold it;s building, paid off all it's debt and positioned itself to ride out the current economic challenges that face our country. We currently operate out of an 8,000 sq. ft. facility in Paramount California.
We contribute our consistent growth to the dedication of our
valued employees and the loyalty and relationships we share
with our valued customers and vendors.
VISION
The future is riddled with the economic uncertainties. However
there will always be a need for our products. Thus we will
position ourselves to be the best in our field of expertise.
We do not measure ourselves by revenue or profit (our bank
does that) we gauge ourselves by the number of quality customers
that we have been able to acquire through out the years. We
do not pursue arbitrary numbers based on margins and minimums.
Our goal is to simply be the best at whatever we do. Our belief
is that, by pursuing this one goal, we will satisfy or exceed
all other goals.
Even in the slow economic times of late, we have been able
to maintain a small but steady revenue growth. This has given
us the opportunity to focus on improving our infrastructure.
Our “System of Efficiencies” is what we call our
pursuit to improve every process performed at TITAN HARDWARE,
from marketing, to order taking, to pulling orders, and improving
customer service. Each process is under constant review by
management and employees. This allows us to improve efficiency
and customer service and also reduce the costs of doing business.
This “System of Efficiencies” is one of the 3
main pillars that TITAN HARDWARE stands upon to surpass its
competition.
